​ABOUT ME

I am a mother, partner, student, and movement educator. I have been working in New York City as an independent dance artist, massage therapist, and 500hr certified yoga and anatomy teacher for over a decade. I am also a Functional Range Conditioning Mobility Specialist. I hold a BFA in Dance from FSU with a concentration on Performance, Movement Conditioning, and Kinesiology.​ I am also a Doula with Carriage House Birth and a Senior Teacher and Trainer with YogaWorks. I lead both 200hr and 300hr professional yoga programs in New York City and all over the US.

As a mover, shaker, and lover of the arts, I seek to find the authentic artistic vision that lives within each of us. I began practicing yoga in 1996 and have been studying kinesiology and teaching multiple movement disciplines for over 20 years. I have also taught as an adjunct dance professor at Georgia College & State University and Central Connecticut State University. With a background in structural bodywork and massage therapy, working with injuries and using biomechanics to inform my teaching are areas of keen concentration. Passion, playfulness, and curiosity are major components of my offerings and practice which help to ignite growth and self-study in this lifelong yogic quest for balance.

​In my yoga classes, I combine my love of movement, creativity, kinesiology, and anatomy to bring strength, clarity, and awareness to the body. Focus on the individual and the breath are paired with dynamic intelligent sequencing. With an educational and compassionate approach to yoga I strive to blend the balance of strength and mobility in asana, self-reflection, and exploration of philosophy while encouraging students to find their own unique path to a continually evolving practice.

While I have been inspired by many teachers along my path, my best teachers are my students and my personal practice. Two of my primary teachers are Carrie Owerko and Rodney Yee.

Featured teachings include the Bryant Park Summer Series in NYC, Time-Out New York, Fox News, Well+Good NYC, SHAPE, Vogue Korea, and The Traveller Korea. I have also taught with Athleta, Lululemon, and Rapha NYC and have helped to bring yoga to the workplace community with companies such as Moment Design, J.Crew, Bloomberg, Barbour, kbs+, and Women’s Expressive Theater among others.
